__ Who’s to Blame for the High Cost of Food 7 It may be the farmer, it may be the middleman, it may be the weatherâ€"but never mind-you have Shredded Wheat at the same old price, the same high quality, the one per- fect, complete food, sup- plying more real nutriment than meat, or eggs, or veg- etables, costing much less and more easily digested. Cut out the high-price foods. Eat Shredded Wheat for breakfast with milk or cream. Eat it for dinner with stewed fruits and green vegetables. A deliciously nourishing meal for only a few cents.

There is the most intimate relation between the condition of the blood and the activity of the stomach. The blood depends upon the stomach for a large part of its nourishment; while every act of digestion, from the time the food enters the stomach and is as- similated by the blood needs plenty of pure well-oxidized blood. The musâ€" cles, glands and nerves of the stomach work only according to the quality of the blood. The most common cause of indigesâ€" tion is lack of rich, red blood. Not only does impure blood weaken the l l muscles of the stomach but it lessens_ the product of the glands of the in- testines and stomach, which furnish the digestive fluids. Nothing will more promptly cure indigestion than plenty of pure blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the safest and most cer- tain blood-builder. A thorough trial of these pills gives a hearty appetite, ' perfect digestion, strength and health. ‘Here is proof of the value of these pills in cases of indigestion. Mr. Dan-l iel Dexter, Liverpool, N.S., says:â€" “For several years I was a great suf- ferer from indigestion. I was greatâ€" ly troubled with gas on the stomach which caused disagreeable sensations. I Was also frequently troubled with nausea and vomiting, which were very distressing. As a result of my trouble my appetite almost completely failed. and what I did eat caused me constant pain. I was continually doctoring but did not get any benefit, and had about i made up my mind that I would suffer ‘ for life. One day a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams' Pink' Pills, and while I had not much hope of a cure I decided to do so. I had l only taken a few boxes, however, when II found they were helping me. Very gladly then I continued the use of the lpills, and in less than three months I was as well as ever I had been, able to eat a hearty meal, and to feel that life was again worth living. I had also been troubled from time to time with attacks of rheumatism, and the use of digestion. It is now over a year since I took the pills, and in that time I have had no return of the trouble.” Dr. Willianms' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or may be had thy mail at 50 cents a box or six liams Medicine C0..

There is something almost breath- taking in the statement by Mr. Arthur _‘ Crow, in a lecture to the London 80- ' cicty, that, in less than sixty yearsâ€"â€" that is, during the lifctime of not a few of our 1‘caders~â€"l.ondon will have a population of twenty millions. A century ago England's capital held, roughly. a million people. Toâ€"day n she counts three million more inhabit» ants than the whole of England when Elizabeth reigned. There are actually more people int the Greater London of 1916 than in Scotland and Wales combined; :1 milâ€" lion and a half more than in the whole of Australia; with New anland thrown in, and thrcc times as many as in Norway. According to Mr. (Trow, such as- tounding figures will seem almost conâ€" of when the population of our will be greater than that of the Brit- ish Isles in the year of Waterloo, and when her people will outnumber those of five European countries to-day »â€" Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden. and Switzcrlnnilâ€"combined.

V Absent-minded personsâ€"«usually professorsâ€"have become common figures in the world of humor, but their adventures are usually so amusâ€" ing that fresh ones may be welcomed. In “Forty Years of ‘Spy,’ " Mr. Lesile Ward, the well-known London artist, tells a good story about Lord Crewe. Lord Crewe's extraordinary absent- lmindedness was proverbial, and, since he was not aware of his weakness,' other people often took advantage of it. He used to dine at the Athenaeum Club, usually at the same table. An- other member came rushing in one day to obtain a place for dinner for himself. All being engaged, the waiter was obliged to refuse the late ,, ri ikge for 1 wit m t“ lingp v i z. ' 'o. comer, when the flurricd member pointed to 'an extra seat. “Oh, sir,” said the waiter with ; apologetic deference, “that’s Lord Crewe’s.” ' v “Never mint ,” said the urgent ‘ ' would-be diner. comesâ€"that he’s dined!” It is to be supposed that the man .found a way to make the deception, worth while, for when Lord Crewe ar- rived the waiter met him with surprise “Have you forgotten? an hour ago, my lord,” he said. “So I did,” murmured the dining room. o 0"â€" “Wait and See” in French. The phrase "wait and sec" has bothered the French newspaper corâ€" respondents in London lately, says the Manchester Guardian.
